I’m very happy to know that Paul Armstrong, absolutely one of my favorite web designer, is going to release a piece of his not-so-bad collection of “Awesome stuff“: Awesome box.

This is a particular implementation of Yahoo! UI Javascript Library that wants to create a web image viewer like Lightbox but, unlike this one, it has a clear and simply interface (with animations too) and supports so many things like Photo series, long descriptions and other stuff.

However, in the upcoming release (version 2, I guess), there will be some changes.

• Complete cross-browser support: Will now work correctly in IE6, IE7, Firefox, Safari, Opera and others.
• No sizing tweak-outs: Occasionally v1 would not read the size of an image correctly. This is now fixed.
• Completely Rewritten: More modular and concise code will help with load times and support.
• Keyboard Navigation: A la Lightbox 2.0, keyboard navigation with the n, p, and x keys.

Paul is still searching for some new exiting features to include before the release so, if you have some suggestions, I think you should tell him!
